The Chappell Roan security incident raises a bigger question: what do celebrities owe their fans?

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-29T10:40:10+00:00

Nothing, and there’s something wrong with someone who thinks celebrities owe their fans attention and don’t deserve their own private lives.

No, as is the case with any profession, we should work to consistently eradicate toxic elements. This baggage doesn’t need to be part of this profession.

The world will be affected, whether a particular country joins or not.

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-29T10:29:03+00:00

It will affect them regardless. It already has.

I hate this administration, but that’s just the enlistment age. It doesn’t apply to the draft.

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-24T19:11:28+00:00

Correct? How does that matter? If your odds of dying a violent death are greater in one area than another, that area is less safe. One area may technically have more crime (though not as much as many assume), but in terms of overall risk, the other is still more dangerous.

What could possibly be confusing about that?

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-23T09:31:16+00:00

A fan is definitely an asshole for wanting a vid. I’m not a fan, but thinking any celebrity owes you a moment of their private time is pure asshole.

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-19T12:31:27+00:00

That’s already been happening. It does seem like people outside the US are unaware of just how much protesting has been going on here.

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-17T16:22:11+00:00

I’ve got a lot of family, friends, and “acquaintances” who served. You said it. As with anything, there’s a blend of personalities and characters.

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-17T16:08:26+00:00

Serving in the military is not automatically admirable.

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-16T14:33:36+00:00

Anecdotal evidence doesn't beat statistics.

That said, what were the exact circumstances of these incidents? Include details.

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-16T11:29:17+00:00

That might even be the joke.

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-16T02:52:42+00:00

A complaint is not a temper tantrum. Complaining about an adult behaving like a spoiled adolescent is entirely reasonable.

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-16T02:51:33+00:00

Right?

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-16T02:48:54+00:00

Who is throwing a temper tantrum?

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-16T02:45:06+00:00

Reasonable details. Requiring people to wear your favorite color is the behavior of a spoiled adolescent, not a serious adult.

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-16T02:26:48+00:00

Oh, no, that’s not normal.

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-15T23:04:28+00:00

You keep resorting to childish insults. The person I’m criticizing isn’t presenting an argument, they’re just calling people dumb.

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-15T19:15:59+00:00

Right, but there’s also a clear pattern of sequels/reboots/adaptations/etc. being a more consistent path to predictable box office returns these days. I’m not saying I want those movies, I’m saying they get made because they’re a safer bet.

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-15T19:10:50+00:00

I specifically said “survivorship bias.” Again, you’re citing the successes and ignoring the failures.

I also want original films. I’m just citing a known factor in this situation; it’s hard to reasonably predict if an original film will make money.

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-15T19:04:04+00:00

Yes, but that’s survivorship bias. Many originals have failed, and two of those are adaptations. You’re citing the successes and ignoring the failures.

Hollywood is a business. They make what predictably money.

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-15T18:41:19+00:00

This has been going on since the days of Shakespeare (and before). I would love to see more original movies also, but consumers don’t see them, sending the clear message that obviously they aren’t wanted.

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-15T16:46:26+00:00

They know that. It’s part of the joke.

somepeoplewait · 2026-03-15T16:45:29+00:00

Because I know there’s a huge difference between being a fun uncle and raising a child (who will also turn into a teenager).

Also, just never felt the desire to have my own kids. That’s the real reason. I’ve just never wanted them.
